Reinforcing Leadership in Human Capital Innovation and Supplier Diversity
Chicago, IL – May 8, 2025 – Advanced Resources, a premier human capital solutions firm specializing in strategic workforce transformation, proudly announces its official certification as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) by the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC). This recognition not only reflects the firm’s deep-rooted commitment to supplier diversity but further solidifies its position as a trusted partner to organizations navigating complex HR and finance challenges.
“Earning MBE certification enhances our ability to align with forward-thinking organizations committed to inclusive and high-performance workplaces,” said Rich Diaz, CEO of Advanced Resources. “When I acquired this company, I envisioned building something far greater—a human capital powerhouse driven by purpose, performance, and people.
